I went to college because I loved computer science, but while there I was in class alongside many students (at least in the required courses) who were just there for a good job, and I never had a problem with any of them. In fact, college did pretty well for most of them. I've never been dissuaded from thinking that there is a place for people-who-just-want-good-jobs in colleges. There are plenty of opportunities for people who wanted to go further in computer science, I don't know of any college with a good computer science programs that's lacking in high level math and AI courses. That said, I absolutely agree with "The entitlement of success that seems to follow from attending college is what's broken. The expectation that you will get a cushy 9-5 job in return for that diploma is what's broken." People need to decide up front if their priority is a 9-5 job and plan accordingly.
